So incredibly excited to be a part of El Paso, Elsewhere 2. Working with the whole Strange Scaffold team is a dream: the script rules, the story’s bigger, better, and more badass, and I can’t wait to share more. What a treat.

Wow, wild What a coincidence (We're also packing in a free copy of El Paso, Nightmare with every purchase of the game to date and going forward, to thank folks for their support and show how far we've come from the series' beginnings!)

OK, heading to bed down under. Don’t go announcing any games I’m in, PC Gaming Show. That would be uncouth, while the man is sleeping.

Hello, if you’re watching the #PCGamingShow tonight please keep an eye out for the game I’ve been working on with @willluton.bsky.social and Village Studio! It’s called Hack ‘95 and it’s set in the 1995 internet/hacking scene. We’re on just after 8pm BST. Hack the planet! www.pcgamingshow.com

My friend and former student Nickey Olson just released his game ‘Richard’ on Steam! It’s a brilliant interactive narrative setting Shakespeare’s Richard III against a background of high school drama, with excellent design and astonishing art. Check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3635830/...

Want to be very clear that I have no relationship to CR whatsoever, but if a friend at remedy can secure me one of these mugs I’d be SO HAPPY

So incredibly proud to be a part of this. I remember when Alyx first started development on this, and the wild ride it has been to get here. I’m so very proud of her, of the team, and to bring this powerful autobiography to life.

🚨New Audiobook Release!🚨 Proud to share that my latest audiobook narration, ‘Tsushima 1905: Death of a Russian Fleet’, is available NOW wherever fine audiobooks are sold (and even the dodgy ones too). www.audible.co.uk/pd/Osprey-Ca...

New talk upcoming: I’ll be at @developconference.com in July on the Thursday talking about using “exploration” rather than “puzzle” as a lens for designing a deduction game, with reference to TR-49 and the other inkle game where we do that, which I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader for now

THIS IS NOT GOOD. ESPECIALLY IN A COUNTRY WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING.

Just out of OBSESSION at the Palace Cinema in Byron Bay. That movie a) is very good and 2) is DEEPLY UPSETTING.

Two hours left!

Sadly, wherever you go, there you are

Lotta cool new music out today! www.ericstirpe.com/posts/new-mu...

I heard *stories* about this panel and I am newly annoyed that passes this year didn't include vault access (which costs $650 separately!).

The most anxiety I’ve ever felt in a panel in my life, 10/10

the beginning of this panel made me feel pure physical agony

Newest episode of my new podcast, Formative Media, came out today! Andrea Rene (@andrearene.bsky.social) joins me for a fascinating conversation about Channel One News and her inspiration for getting into broadcast journalism. Find it a FormativeMediaShow.com or wherever you get your podcasts.

Delighted that GDC have rectified their mistake with the Vault, too, and they no longer cut in to our presentation after the opening four minutes. So if you would like to see me in the most petrifying situation of my life so far, please give us a watch: gdcvault.com/play/1035963...

Do y'all know a Game Freak expert? Someone who isn't only fluent in Pokémon, but the entire non-Pokehistory?

Clint is a visionary game designer and I’m so dang excited to see where Build Machine goes. Even the name is exciting to me, and should be to fellow fans of systemic gameplay.

A little behind the scenes look into Little Bat Games' next title... and surprise Vampire Therapist news for fans. 🤫 Thank you @solfleet.bsky.social for shining a light on the weirdo indies!
